We had a great 4th of July yesterday. Bo & I went for a really nice bicycle ride around the city. Twenty miles of city! Bo had gotten a new camera that morning for work, so we took it with us and snapped some pictures along the way. Here's Bo on the corner of Kentucky & 6th Street. 6th street is part of Route 66, and in Amarillo, has lots of antique shops.

Here's another shot of Bo visiting with some friendly gentlemen in downtown Amarillo.

There are lots of horse statues around town, so we took some pictures of those. Here's me with an interesting one.

It was a fun afternoon and I enjoyed the (ahem) 'heck' out of it. (excuse my language, please). --I wouldn't want to offend anyone with sensitive ears (or should I say --eyes). LOL

When we got home, Cody, Jenny & Corbin came over to watch fireworks with us. The fireworks' show was in the park right next door to us so it was very convenient. We just sat out in our rock yard. Well actually, we started out there, but had to move down the street because we couldn't see very well over the houses across the street. But once we got situated, we enjoyed it very much. It was a very pretty show. One of our neighbors had a little cassette tape player playing a tape of patriotic songs. And while we were sitting there listening to Lee Greenwood, a car went past with a guy hanging out the window shouting 'God bless America!'

About Me

I am a 50-something wife, mother, grandmother, stepmother, daughter, sister, and hopefully a friend to all of the above and a few others. I was born in Texas and have lived here all my life. I love Texas, but I like to visit other places also. I enjoy just being outdoors, going for walks, riding my bicycle, studying theology, surfing the internet, cooking, and reading. I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, but do not go along with mainstream religion’s view of him, so I don’t like to be grouped with modern day ‘christianity.’ It leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion. This is a blog about my life, thoughts and opinions about various things.
